About the Detroit auto show

Hyundai's HCD-14 Genesis debuted Monday at the Detroit auto show. From it's Audi-esque grille to a cool headlight and taillight treatment, it looks like the next Genesis may be a bit more avant-garde than the outgoing car.

Wading through a sea of marketing speak, we find that Hyundai is proposing a novel system for controlling the car's infotainment and HVAC systems using "3-D hand gestures" and "eye-tracking." Hyundai is also promising an engaging driving experience and the HCD-14 is powered by Hyundai's 5.0 Liter Tau V8, which is backed by an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The annual North American International Auto Show, better known as the Detroit auto show, has maintained its place as a barometer for the entire industry. For 2013, NAIAS takes place Jan. 14-27 and will host concept cars, green cars and supercars from all the major automakers, including what's expected to be a highlight this year: the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette.
